"Good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Zhang Gongjin hugged his fists and said: "General Li is careful on the road, Zhang is waiting for good news."

Xu Shiji left, took Lao Cheng and others to gather people and set off immediately, Zhang Gongjin and others did not need to say goodbye, and there was no need for these cumbersome processes in a hurry.

"According to the previous order of the Grand Governor, no matter whether it is successful or not, once we get the news, we will gather in Yinshan, and now the Grand Governor has been fighting for a long time, it is a difficult season when people are sleepy and lacking, and we have just given them supplies in the past... General Lee is ready to go, and we must be ready to go immediately. ”

"Pass the order, the whole army is ready to move to Yinshan!"

Zhang Gongjin was anxious, although he already knew about the great victory in Yinshan, but this kind of victory came at a price, the casualties on the side of Yinshan are not known now, and everyone else is also worried about the casualties of the soldiers in front, because the messenger of the news fainted after coming to the camp.

As a military doctor, Lin Fan naturally couldn't sit idly by, he asked the government soldiers to carry the messenger into the nearby government barracks tent, carefully checked his body, wiped it with warm water, wrapped it in a thick blanket, and put it in this warm camp tent to sleep, and the camp was the warmest here.

After Lin Fan finished his work, Zhang Gongjin said excitedly: "Lin Fan, the government barracks on your side are ready, ready to heal the wounded soldiers at any time, I will send a team of cavalry to escort you to go first, and rush to Yinshan as soon as possible.

Lin Fan said respectfully: "Gong Zhang doesn't need to worry, the medical equipment is ready at any time, as long as he arrives in Yinshan, he can be treated, don't worry, I will do my best to cure all the soldiers."

Zhang Gongjin had tears in his eyes, and grabbed Lin Fan's shoulders excitedly, he almost didn't dare to imagine what the situation was like for the 10,000 soldiers who went out to fight in the ice and snow, he was guarding the big camp, if it wasn't for Lin Fan's camp tent to be smeared with oil, it was hard to imagine how cold it was, it was common for people to freeze to death in the barracks before, not to mention those soldiers who climbed the ice and lay in the snow.

Maybe it's because of the warmth, not long after, the messenger woke up, he recounted the bitter battle on the front line, all the generals in the big tent gasped, although the war did not last long, but it was very fierce, if it wasn't for Jieli to ride a thousand miles of horses to escape first, maybe Jieli had been captured at this moment.

It's a pity that the casualties are somewhat heavy, more than 500 people froze to death in the 10,000 army, these people who froze to death basically died on the march, but only 1,000 were killed in battle, and more than 2,000 were wounded.

You know, they are the most elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of casualties are a bit big, compared to the victory of Baidao is much worse, at that time Xu Shiji's Tonghan army did not suffer many casualties, Lin Fan also treated less than 100 people, this time the casualties are so heavy, the weather is a reason, of course, the main reason is that Li Jing is too eager for quick success, eager for success, so that the soldiers are tired day and night, and they are not resting and put into the battle, in this case, the casualties are not heavy, in terms of treating the soldiers, Li Jing is still not as good as Xu Shiji, the former as long as the result, and does not take into account the feelings of the soldiers.

Zhang Gongjin didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Jing, and he didn't have the heart to discuss whether Li Jing, the chief manager, was right or wrong at the moment, so he immediately ordered Lin Fan to rush to the government barracks first, and sent a general to lead a team to escort him.

Lin Fan didn't have much room to refuse, so he asked Erdan and the others to prepare immediately, and about half an hour later, Lin Fan's military camp set off......

Bai Dao seems to be not far from Yinshan on the map, but it is actually much farther on foot, Li Jing estimated that he would arrive and complete the task within twenty days, Lin Fan was not as fast as Li Jing, he estimated that he would have to walk for about twenty-five days to arrive.

This can also be regarded as an expedition, so Lin Fan is not in a hurry, does not rush or delay, and moves forward at a normal marching speed.

On the first day of camping, a strange thing was encountered, when everyone was just lying down and preparing to rest, there was a sound of salsa outside the camp, this sound was even more harsh in this silent night, almost everyone heard this sound at that time, Lin Fan had not fallen asleep at that time, and he also heard it clearly, like a heavy object falling heavily on the ground, a rustling sound produced when sliding on the snow.

Lin Fan was very puzzled, and hurriedly ran out of the camp tent, wanting to ask the night watchmen what was going on, but he didn't see the pawns, and rushed to the door of the barracks, only to find the two night watchmen lying in the snow, Lin Fan immediately ordered the other government soldiers to carry the two pawns into the warm camp tent, these two people were obviously knocked unconscious, if they slept in the snow all night, it is estimated that they will never wake up.

I don't know who is so vicious and does this kind of harmful thing, doesn't he know that this will kill people, there is a wooden object at the gate of the camp, Lin Fan can't find out who is the murderer from this wooden object, the murderer must be the person who sent the wooden object, but who is it? He didn't know either.

This wooden thing is very strange, like a car and not like a car, because it has wheels, but it is not the kind of wheel of an ordinary car, its wheels are a little strange, not round, but toothed, very similar to the wheel of the excavator in the city now, this wooden wheel is very special, the furnishings are also different, other carriages are basically four wheels, Lin Fan's self-made car-style carriage has six wheels, and they are all symmetrical side by side, this wooden thing is different, there are eight or nine wheels, and it is unevenly placed, seemingly irregular random place, However, Lin Fan didn't believe that these wheels were really irregular, there must be a law in them, but he didn't understand it.

After careful observation, I found that the toothed wheel is more special, the position of the tooth peak is not simply cut into a sharp shape by a wooden block, it is the kind of hemispherical shape with arc, as if a log block is inlaid on it, in fact, the whole wheel is conjoined, this hemispherical tip is specially carved, Lin Fan doesn't know why this mysterious person is carved like this, there must be a use, otherwise it would not be so strange.

The bottom of the wheel is uneven, Lin Fan can't understand it, the top is nailed into wooden blocks, a bit like a closed castle, and a bit like a wooden house, with a roof and walls on all sides, of course, these are made of wood, and in the wooden blocks erected on all sides, there is a gap at a distance, and I don't know what this is used for.

Through the light, Lin Fan squinted his eyes and looked inside, it was empty, looking at such a strange thing, Lin Fan had deeper doubts in his heart, and glanced around, except for the faint white light that faded out of the snow, there was no suspicious black shadow.

"Who is so bored to knock us two guards unconscious, just to secretly send this strange thing over? Is there something sick in his brain, since he wants to send something, he doesn't send it openly, what are you doing secretly! And what kind of mess is being sent, I can't even understand it. The second egg didn't understand this thing, and was even more dissatisfied with the mysterious gift giver.

The soldiers of the government basically gathered near Lin Fan, and the general who escorted Lin Fan did not stay here to listen to their discussion, and after knowing the situation, he immediately took a dozen people to patrol around the camp to see if there were any new discoveries, and some of the remaining soldiers stayed in the camp to protect the safety of Lin Fan and others.

Shan Xiong didn't know whether he was confident or indifferent, he still stood leisurely and drank wine, leisurely, and didn't seem to feel that the sudden appearance of this special thing in the barracks was a potential danger, and his expression was complacent.

The veteran was different, gathered around the wooden object to take a closer look, and only after a while did he raise his head and ask Lin Fan: "Yingzheng, could this thing be what the mysterious man wants to tell you, and he won't send such a strange thing for no reason." ”

The veteran finally didn't live for so long in vain, and finally saw some clues, he has deep experience, he has been immersed in the government barracks for many years, and his vision is keen, he said that this mysterious person has a purpose, and he basically guessed correctly, in fact, Lin Fan also thinks so.

"You're not wrong."

Lin Fan's face was solemn: "This mysterious man must have a purpose, he gave me this thing to tell me something, do you want me to guess what this thing is for?" ”

"Quite possibly."

Erdan clapped his hands and said: "He is estimated to be as powerful as Yingzheng, come up with this kind of question to test you, maybe he is jealous of your talent, and deliberately embarrass you like this・・・・・・ Yingzheng, you are so powerful, have you figured out what this thing is?" ”

"God knows."

Lin Fan said angrily: "This is not made by me, how do I know how to use it." ”

As if inspired by Erdan, Lin Fan's eyebrows gradually furrowed, and soon his eyebrows dissipated, and there was a hint of a smile in his dark eyes looking ahead, and he had vaguely seen some similarities between this matter and the previous incident.

"Yingzheng, what are you thinking, smiling, have you figured out what this thing is?"

Lin Fan glanced at Erdan lightly, and said with a smile: "Although it has not been confirmed yet, it is basically the same as ten, if I guess correctly, this mysterious person should have appeared before." ”

Erdan opened his eyes wide in curiosity and said, "Have you seen that person?" ”

Lin Fan shook his head and said: "No, I just had secret contact, and the modified eight-bull crossbow used in our army now is the one I once inspired by this person・・・・・・"

He smiled lightly: "At that time, he gave me the question of the Eight Bull Crossbow, and now he gives me this kind of question, and this time ・・・・・・ I don't know how to answer." ”

Erdan looked at Lin Fan worriedly: "Yingzheng, you can't answer his question, then what will he do to you ・・・・・・, will he be angry, I think this kind of person has a strange personality, and often does crazy things that ordinary people dare not imagine, if some of his wishes are not met, we will be in no way if he initiates madness."

We only have these soldiers, and a small team of men, how can we deal with the impending danger with such a thin strength, this kind of person dares to appear near us again as if he has entered no man's land, he must have a certain ability, he must be guarded, and now it is easy to send things to us, and it is easy to kill us. ”

After Erdan knew the danger, he began to worry about his situation, thinking that this mysterious man could send things over without a sound and still be able to get out of the way, he felt creepy all over his body, this kind of person is too dangerous.

Hearing Erdan say this, the veteran began to be a little nervous, and he subconsciously leaned closer to Lin Fan's side, looking around vigilantly with deep eyes.

Lin Fan didn't care about this, looked at the wooden object and said confidently: "He won't think about killing me, there is no reason, there is no need, if he wants to kill me, whether it is in Mayi, or on the way to the march, there is an opportunity, and he will not wait until this time, if he really wants to kill me, I am afraid that we will never be able to get up just now."

In this war-torn place, there is probably something to find me, maybe... he just wants to learn from me to see who is more powerful... Alas, no matter what, let's continue to march our own army and go our own way, just think... The strange thing he gave me is a gift, don't think about what it's for, let's ignore it so much, see what other tricks he has, I also want to know who is so interested in me, I want to see if he is patient or I am more patient, just consume it, whoever can ignore it to the end will be the winner. ”

After Lin Fan was in no danger with the ticket, Erdan and the veteran were relieved, and Erdan's immature little face put a smile on it again: "Yingzheng, can you really spend it with him?" Don't you wonder what this thing is for? ”

"Curiosity kills cats."

Lin Fan smiled faintly: "You can't be curious all the time, you should be curious, you should be curious, and when you shouldn't be curious, it's best not to think about anything, forget about it, if you are too curious, it is very easy for the enemy to grasp the handle, and use your curiosity to lead you into the trap he has set." ”

"Carry this thing to my tent, let's all go to sleep, and continue the march tomorrow." After Lin Fan finished speaking, he walked to his tent with his hands in his hands, looking at his leisurely appearance, as if this little episode tonight had no effect on him・・・・・・

The general who escorted Lin Fan came back, he didn't find any traces, the person who sent the wooden objects seemed to have disappeared from this snow, there was no trace at all, it seemed to be able to drill into the ground again, there were no suspicious footprints within a radius of 100 zhang, which made the general very puzzled, he also asked the soldiers to dig the snow to see if the other party escaped from under the snow, although he knew that this was not very likely, but he still tried it once, the result was not ideal, except for snow or snow under the snow, there was no trace of being shaved.

The general was full of doubts in his heart, he did not understand how this wooden object was sent to the gate of the camp, he wanted to find out about it, but he could not do it, he gradually felt the power of this mysterious man, and it was because of his power that he felt afraid.
